Chapter 9 You Want Me to Sleep With You?

Nathan stroked his chin and glanced at Joseph standing beside him.

"Do you know her?" he asked.

"Yeah," Joseph replied noncommittally.

"So, what are you waiting for? Go be the hero and save the damsel in distress," Nathan teased playfully, "Can you stand watching a weak woman face this filthy scum alone?"

"I know her but we're not close."

In other words, he was not going to help her.

As for the "weak woman" Nathan was talking about, Joseph remembered how effortlessly she had hoisted a heavy suitcase with one hand on the day they got their marriage certificate.

Joseph's reaction was within Nathan's expectations. After all, Joseph was never one to meddle in other people's affairs or to be kind and gentle toward women.

It was just that Nathan felt a little bit disappointed. The woman standing not far away was gorgeous. With long legs, a slender waist, and blemish-free skin, the simple design of her business suit effortlessly accentuated her perfect figure. Her exposed skin was as luscious and tender as a boiled egg, with a smooth and milky complexion.

She was a rare beauty that was more stunning than many A-list female celebrities.

Nathan could not bear to see a beauty being bullied so he suggested, "Since you're not close, why don't I go help her?"

Joseph shot a cold glance at him. "What did you say?"

His gaze sent a chill down Nathan's spine and he quickly waved his hands, indicating that he was just joking.

"Okay, okay. I won't do anything," he said.

Joseph calmly shifted his gaze back to Chloe. The middle-aged man in front of her was bold, and the words that came out of his lips were fouler than the last.

"Stop acting all high and mighty!"

As if he heard the funniest joke in the world, the middle-aged man chuckled and said, his saliva spraying into the air, "I'll give you a second chance. If you apologize to me and come upstairs obediently, everything will be resolved. I've already reserved a room on the sixth floor. We'll sign the contract the moment we’re finished. Don't behave like a spoiled princess."

"You want me to sleep with you? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror first, you d*mn pig!" Chloe shouted. Her fingers were trembling but she had no intention of backing down.

The underground parking lot was rather hollow and their voices echoed loudly. Onlookers who drove by paused to observe them. Losing his patience, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed her and dragged her toward the elevator.

Joseph stood stock still, his gaze fixed on Chloe. And fortunately, she did not disappoint him.

Although she was weaker than the middle-aged man, she was clever and knew how to target his weak spots. Seizing an opportunity, she kicked him hard, and at the next moment, a sound akin to a pig being slaughtered echoed through the parking lot. The man's face turned crimson red as he clutched his crotch in pain.

Chloe took advantage of when the man was incapacitated to quickly make her escape. Despite the harsh May sun in Aesper City, she shivered from head to toe as if she was devoid of warmth.

She found it hard to believe that even if Benjamin disliked her, he would not let his own daughter take on such a degrading task under the guise of signing a contract. Perhaps it was the man who had added fuel to the fire and twisted the facts...

Chloe did not want to dwell on the matter any longer, nor did she have the courage to face the truth. She lowered her gaze and watched the passing cars on the street, feeling lost and uncertain of where to go next.

Then, her phone rang. It was from Benjamin.

Chloe fell silent for a few seconds before answering the call.

"You had one job! I just wanted you to sign the contract with Mr. Lionel, but you screwed it up! Not only that, but you even injured him!" Benjamin's enraged voice came through the earpiece, filling Chloe's ears.

Chloe's hand tightened around the phone, her voice tense as she replied, "I went there to sign a contract and discuss business. Not to sleep with him."

    There was a pause on the other end of the line before Benjamin angrily rebuked, "When did I ever ask you to sleep with him? If you can't handle the project, don't make excuses to avoid responsibility!"Chloe frowned and replied, "I didn't. He was the one who touched me—""We've been working on this project for a whole year, and you ruined it at the last moment. Your irresponsible behavior has caused the company significant losses!""It's not my fault! If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras in the building.""That's enough! No more excuses. Either you take responsibility for the company's losses or you apologize to Mr. Lionel and beg him to sign the contract. This is your last chance!"With that, Benjamin hung up the phone, leaving only the sound of the cold, mechanical dial tone in Chloe's ear.Chloe looked at her phone screen, which displayed the word "Dad," and fell silent. She stood frozen to the spot until a car horn blared out from behind her and she

She had been working tirelessly overseas, putting in long hours and negotiating deal after deal, yet not only was she betrayed in the end, but she could not afford to pay for a meal now.'How dare they do this to me!'Filled with rage, she hailed a cab and headed straight to Artron Enterprise, which was owned by her family.When she arrived, she saw everyone leaving a meeting. Ava was trailing behind Benjamin, asking him questions about his work. Benjamin was gentle and patient as he answered her queries, and they looked like a father and daughter who loved each other deeply.This was an entirely new sight for Chloe, for she had never felt this kind of warmth and affection before. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles were turning white. Her eyes stinging with tears, but she maintained a

    Ava's eyes lit up when she heard what Chloe said.However, she suppressed her excitement and stepped forward to stop her. "Coco, don't be so impulsive. This is your home. Where will you go if you quit?"I have some savings. I'll give you my bank card when we get home tonight. Consider it your salary, okay?""Why do you still want to help her? If she wants to leave, just let her leave. Nobody wants her here anyway," Benjamin said.He felt frustrated because the deal with Lionel had fallen through and he now had to handle Chloe’s mess. Knowing that Chloe would not apologize to Lionel, he did not want to deal with her anymore. He called for the security guard and ushered Ava into the office.Soon, the guards rushed in and tried to drag Chloe out."Don't touch me! I can walk on my own!"She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and walked out of Artron in big strides. However, she was not expecting to run into Jake, who was here to see Ava.When Jake saw the dark expression on

    Emily's shoulders slumped as she said, "I'm sorry, Coco. There's only one position that's suitable for you and we just filled it today."But the headquarters of Fairlight has moved to our country, and it's not far from here. I read online that they're recruiting an Estrenian translation specialist. Your Estrenian is good, and you have the certification. You'll definitely be up to the task. Why don't you give it a try?"Are you talking about the Fairlight Group that made a comeback a few years ago?" Chloe asked, her eyes fixed on Emily."Yes! That's the one!" Emily said as she pointed to the tall building in the north. "It's right there. It's not very far from here. I heard that they offer great benefits. If you land the job, we can go out for dinner every day after work!”Chloe followed Emily's finger and looked to the center of the city, where the tallest commercial building there had been transformed into a structure with two prominent words—Fairlight Group—written in black and g

    Joseph looked at her coldly and replied, "No.""Okay…"Chloe did not dwell on the matter too much, thinking that she must have been hearing things."Are all your clothes this revealing?" Joseph suddenly asked in a cold voice.Perplexed, she looked down at her nightgown, which reached her calves. "Revealing? What do you mean by revealing?""Your collar," he answered.Chloe was speechless. "Only a little of my collarbone is shown…"Joseph was not much older than Jake. She assumed that he was at most eight years older than him, so why was he so conservative?"Others won't see a thing now, but what if you're lying down?" Joseph stared at her, his magnetic voice pleasing to the ear.Chloe was stunned when she heard what he said and suddenly realized what the closing sound from earlier was all about. Her cheeks grew hot but kept calm and met his gaze. "If I were lying down, it‘d only be in my own room. Unless...you have some sinister plot to secretly watch me."Joseph laughed and s

    The interview began with a written test, followed by a face-to-face interview.Chloe excelled in the written test and submitted her paper confidently. As she was leaving, she noticed that there were many blanks on Melody’s test paper. However, Melody was calmly admiring her freshly painted nails and showed no signs of concern.Suddenly, Chloe had a feeling that passing the interview would be an uphill battle for her.Sure enough, when the results of the written test were announced, Chloe had not been selected and had received the lowest score among all the candidates."This is impossible. I couldn't have scored so low!" Chloe confronted the interviewer. "I want to see my test paper and I want to know a clear explanation of where points were deducted."The interviewer, William Grace, stood up and arrogantly replied, "Each interviewer has their own criteria, but one thing is consistent: low scores represent failure. Please don't make a scene and leave immediately. Our time is valuab

Lucas took them and pushed open the door to the office. The HR manager strained to get a look but did not manage to see anything and left disappointed."Find out more about this person named Chloe Johnson," Joseph ordered emotionlessly."Right away, sir," Lucas replied, and within ten minutes, he had found Chloe's information. "Mr. Joseph, here’s her information. She was rejected in the first round.""Given her qualifications, that shouldn't have happened," Joseph said as he laid the previously crumpled resume flat o

The HR manager placed the termination letter in front of him, and it took him a while to realize what was happening."Are you kidding me? I've been with Fairlight for fifteen years, and I’m being fired just like that?!" William shouted.The HR manager had harbored resentment toward William for quite some time. His smirk conveyed a sense of satisfaction as he said, "I'm not responsible for this decision. It was made by the CEO."William's spirits plummeted as he spoke, "You may dismiss me but I demand an explanation and compensation.""There's no compensation," the manager chuckled.

    After Chloe calmed herself, she realized that the place she was in resembled the villa she lived in while overseas five years ago. However, upon closer inspection, the exterior scenery was different. She realized something and froze."Did you build a villa identical to the one I stayed in five years ago?" she asked.Noah was busy bandaging himself. Upon hearing her question, he replied, "Yeah, doesn't it look almost identical?"Chloe's gaze swept over every item in the room, and she admitted that she was touched. She turned back to Noah and looked at him gently as if she had returned to the time when she simply treated him as a little brother."How did you convince Tiffany to cooperate with you?"Tiffany had made her move while Noah distracted Desmond."I just told her about it, and she agreed."Chloe asked, "Do you think you’re treating her fairly?"Noah said flatly, "I’ll compensate her."Compensate? How? Chloe thought that youth was the most precious thing in the world, but

    In the Whitman family home, Joseph went to deal with a bunch of urgent company matters after putting Jasper to sleep. By the time he finished, it was already past three in the morning. He contemplated calling Chloe to ask about Noah's situation, but thinking it might disrupt her sleep, he abandoned the idea.When Joseph woke up the next day, it was already half past six. He recalled Chloe mentioning that Exotic Star had a new product launching today and that she would have to wake up early. He reached for his phone on the table, intending to call her.However, his hand slipped and the phone fell to the floor. The loud thud caused his heart to tremble. He stared at the shattered phone screen as he got a bad feeling. He grabbed his spare phone and quickly dialed Chloe's number. After ringing for some time, a cold, mechanical voice informed him that there was no one available to answer at the moment. Without hesitation, he immediately headed to the Sullivan Manor. When Joseph got ther

    “Yes, Grandpa, and I hope you won't stop me when the time comes," Noah said. "You're not discussing this with me. You're just informing me!" Desmond said exasperatedly. "I'm sorry, Grandpa.”Desmond hemmed and hawed for a long while, at a loss for words. He seemed to age ten years as he stared into the distance through the window. After a while, he said, "I've already had someone contact doctors abroad regarding your condition, so don't worry. All you have to do now is just focus on recovering. Don't give up so soon."Sensing Desmond's determination, Noah's eyes filled with tears. He too wished to spend a few more years with his grandfather.When they arrived at the Sullivan manor, the foreign doctors had replied. Upon learning that the renowned healer, Z, had treated Noah but only achieved limited success, they decided not to intervene.Noah was not discouraged by this. He comforted Desmond and said, "Grandpa, I would like to go abroad for a few days. It's been a long time sin

    Half an hour later, Desmond and Noah walked out of the ward together.Desmond said, "The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so why don't you just listen? If something happens to you again, they can treat you immediately."Noah smiled warmly and said, "It's okay. The medical equipment at home is sufficient."Desmond sighed. It would be good if Noah stayed at home as well. At least there would be more pairs of eyes on him.Desmond instructed the driver to come to the hospital’s basement car park. When he hung up the phone, he looked around the corridor and wondered, "Wasn't Chloe just sitting here? Where is she?"Noah did not say anything and just lowered his head."And where's Tiffany too? Call her. We need to go home," Desmond said as he took his phone out to call Chloe.However, Chloe did not answer his call. Noah did not call Tiffany. Instead, he said, "Her brother had something to discuss with her, so he came by and brought her home. Maybe Chloe ha

    Chloe looked at Tiffany and said sarcastically, "Not everyone is willing to contribute their entire life knowing that the other person doesn't like them."Tiffany had a heart problem. She might die at any moment, yet she chose to live around someone who did not love her back. Chloe often marveled at the greatness of love, but she would never possess such a sacrificial spirit.Tiffany laughed coldly. "It’s because I have compassion and you don't. When Xavia died before your eyes, you just coldly stared at her body."Chloe raised her head sharply, glared at Tiffany, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xavia took my child, stole my man, and wrecked my marriage! She nearly got me killed several times! If she hadn’t died, it might have been me! I should've celebrated her death with fireworks! None of you know what I've been through, so stop pointing fingers at me!"At first, she had felt responsible for Xavia's death, but she had since come to her senses. Xavia's death had nothing to

    Desmond was taken aback that he even forgot his cane and almost tripped on the carpet. He quickly got back up and headed for the second floor. The butler immediately called for an ambulance while the other housekeepers guided the panicked guests away.Chloe furrowed her brows, following Desmond into Noah's bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all light. But just standing at the door, one could detect the strong scent of rust from inside.A helper flipped a switch, and the room was flooded with light. The wooden furniture was neatly arranged while neatly folded clothes sat on the sofa.Chloe looked around but did not see Noah. She then looked toward the bathroom and her face sank.Tiffany pointed to the bathroom and said, "He's in there."Desmond trembled as he pushed open the bathroom door. Inside was a mess, with red stains covering the floor. Noah was in the bathtub, his wet clothes clinging to his body. His arms hung limply over the tub's edge, and his head sl

    Chloe did not know how to answer."Say something. You wanted her dead, right? Are you happy now that she is dead?!” Kenneth shouted angrily at her, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze piercing.He was so loud that it drew the attention of many nearby. Callum and Joseph rushed over, and Joseph shielded Chloe behind him. He pushed Kenneth back several steps and said sternly, "Never speak of that woman in front of Chloe again. Otherwise, there'll be consequences!""Hah! Are you protecting a murderer?" Kenneth laughed. "Oh yeah, you’re both responsible for Xavia's death after all."Smack!Callum slapped Kenneth across the face, instantly silencing him. "Get a grip, Ken! Xavia deserved to die. Stop embarrassing yourself in front of Chloe.”Kenneth held his face as he muttered, "Yeah, you're right… Xavia should’ve died. She was evil. She deceived and took advantage of me… She should die..."Then why was he so tormented over her death? He could not sleep or eat. He knew Xavia deserved th

    Joseph frowned. "Of course not. Her death has nothing to do with you. Promise me you won’t think such thoughts."The unexpected turn of events caught both Chloe and him off guard. Xavia clearly wanted to haunt Chloe forever by killing herself in front of her. Although he felt shocked, he was not deeply shaken. After all, he had not witnessed Xavia's jump, and Xavia probably thought that the third floor was not enough to kill her. After all, being in the hospital for treatment was better than being detained by the police.Chloe looked at Joseph with vacant eyes and smiled bitterly. "You're right. It’s good that she's finally dead. She got what she deserved, and I should be happy," she said."Exactly. Even if she didn't jump, the police would’ve arrested her," Joseph said gently, "It's my fault for asking you to buy us some time. If she comes back as a ghost to haunt you, I'll stop her."Joseph, Tyson, and a few officers had arrived just moments after Xavia jumped. He had brought a g

    Everyone erupted into gasps. As a deafening crash came from below, the staff scattered. Some ran downstairs to try and rescue Iris. Some who had rushed to the windows shouted anxiously, "She's still alive!"Everyone around Chloe was running as her mind was filled with an endless ringing. The whole world became a blur. She never imagined that things would end like this. The meeting hall was on the third floor. It was not too high, but it could be fatal if one were to land on their head. Everyone's accusatory gaze fell on Chloe, and the crowd started to murmur."Damn, how could she do this to Iris? Do you think she’ll be haunted by nightmares tonight?""Yeah, why does she insist that Iris is Xavia?""What if Iris dies? Won’t Ms. Chloe indirectly become a murderer?""Do you think Iris will come for revenge in the middle of the night when she dies?"Something inside Chloe snapped, and she shouted, "It wasn't me! What she did has nothing to do with me!"Her outburst silenced the ro
